			Many many years ago when I was in Grade 12 (circa 1998), I was with many friends walking peacefully up Robson street after the fireworks. A fight broke out where about 10 East Indian guys beat up several other East Indian guys, they then ran down the street yelling loudly how they "beat the F out of them" etc, so loud that they were easily the center of attention. Out of nowhere and suddenly, all these plainclothes officers arrested them. The whole street laughed, and then I walked past and pointed at one of them and did the Nelson Munz from Simpsons laugh. "HA-HA!"

I wonder if that was us, LOL. We use to get into so many fights during the fireworks but I remember this one huge fight we had, not sure what year it was maybe 96 or 97, but it was a whole bunch of EI guys, white guys, asian guys uniting to beat up a group of 20 white guys who decided to bear spray the crowd which was basically all families in front of that hotel on Robson. A couple of the guys got it real good, the others just ran.

UK show was decent (with such a low standard set by Canada) but by no means is it better than the China show.   
I cannot comment on the South Africa show, however.
